JMS Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 We have tricorders? I know a bounty was put out to develop a tricorder ($10 million), but I don't think it's been claimed. Yep we have real tricorders..

PokerPacker Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Yep we have real tricorders..Did he earn the bounty? Also, seeing that reminded me of the toy Tricorders that we grew up with. Plus a couple TNG phasers, a Klingon Disruptor, and a TOS Phaser. edit: almost forgot the TOS communicator and TNG badge/communicators.

JMS Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) There's been some strong beginnings of fan films/series. It's pretty impressive. These aren't fan films are they? "Enterprise-In a time of War" has Scott Backula, Jolene Blalock, James L. Conway, and Dominic Keating staring in it! They've got the original cast and it's a 90 minute film. Did a fan organize that? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3445408/?ref_=tt_rec_tt It's amazing some of the fan films out there.. I saw a star wars fan film a few years back which was fairly good production values... It was about a republic fighter which crash lands on planet and the pilot has to fight his way out of various situations on his way to a space port. You watch the thing and you are like, ok that's pretty cool; not absolutely professional but pretty good. Then the credits role around and every character was played by one guy.... It was amazing. This dude played like 14 characters in the film he wrote and directed... his girl friend played 3 characters. I watched it two more times. The fight scenes were especially cool, if not exactly professional. Edited June 20, 2014 by JMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacase Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 They need to go into the future again with Star Trek, but get rid of the niceness. Star Trek - Fall of the Federation. It would be awesome to show the collapse then rebirth of the federation. Or maybe even go with a Star Trek that didn't involve ships, maybe something the focused on espionage between empires or diplomats on earth. Star Trek - Section 31.

Or maybe even go with a Star Trek that didn't involve ships, maybe something the focused on espionage between empires or diplomats on earth. Star Trek - Section 31. #1, I don;t think there's this rule that says they just absolutely HAVE to completely ignore the things they've done that have been hugely popular. However, I admit that I keep having this notion of a Klingon Civil War. (I think that there pretty much has to be one, after the events in Enterprise where they explained why Kirk's Klingons looked so vastly different.) I could see it being the basis for a Trek movie, featuring Kirk. (My notion is that Kirk, the Galaxy's biggest meddler in other people's business, decides to stick his nose into a Klingon Civil War.) Or, I wonder if maybe an all-Klingon series might sell. Kind of a Klingon Game of Thrones series, where nobody is really good or really bad, just elements of both. (And just think of how many opportunities for Tough Guy Lines there would be.) I could see some Trekkies really, really, interested in an all-Klingon series. But it's a really small group. Don't know if a small group that's really fanatical translates into financial success. But that might be a really good thing to do, on Netflix.

Slateman Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yea, if they dump humanity's pursuit of betterment, then it's not Star Trek. It's a remake of BSG with Star Trek dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I am changing my thread a little. I will also use this thread to post Star Trek News. Will leave the original post and question: Star Trek: It's almost time for a return to the small screen or is it? Feel free to answer the original question of comment on any new news I post. Latest on Shatners possible appearance in Star Trek 3. http://www.treknews.net/2014/10/07/william-shatner-chris-pine-scene-star-trek-3/ Interesting article on turning Star Trek into the next Marvel movie type franchise: http://io9.com/how-to-turn-star-trek-into-the-next-marvel-movie-univer-1643498264?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_facebook&utm_source=io9_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Been a while since I've updated this. Major news on the next movie. http://insidemovies.ew.com/2015/01/21/star-trek-3-simon-pegg/ Simon Pegg, who plays Scotty in the 2 modern movies; will be co-writing the next movie currently due in July 2016. I would push that Sept. 2016; to coincide with the 50th anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would push that Sept. 2016; to coincide with the 50th anniversary. Well on the bright side, it's no longer being helmed by people I had negative faith in. On the other hand, I don't know anything about Jung, and Pegg hasn't written anything like Star Trek before. Unlike Abrams, though, Pegg was a fan of Star Trek growing up (props to anyone who watched The Animated Series), so he just may be in touch with what Star Trek is meant to be.

PokerPacker Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yous Guys see this before? http://www.startrekaxanar.com/ I've not heard of that one. I'm familiar with Star Trek Continues which features Jimmy Doohan's son as Montgomery Scott (but not the son named "Montgomery") and Grant Imahara as Sulu. I haven't yet watched it, though.

Mad Mike Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 TNG was good but DS9 sucked. Just a soap opera in space. The form the of any new Star Trek is not as important as good writing. Give me some edgy thought provoking stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Pointing out that the article1) States that a deal is in negotiation.2) Then flat out states that no, no such negotiations have taken place, recently.3) Then runs off and speculates on how great the deal will be.But, I will note: Netflix does seem to be doing all right with the direct-to-streaming business model. It certainly seems like they've proven that it's possible to make money, that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
